Or perhaps it’s time we start to consider technology not only a playground for engineers but also a matter of social health. In the pharma industry before to release a new drug there is a lot of research, and an independent Institute gives the authorization. Is it time to start thinking in this way and, before to release AI algorithms, certify that they don’t harm people and democracy?
